Bug#998318: cups-client: lpoptions ignores and deletes settings of printer instances in ~/.cups/lpoptions
Package: cups-client
Version: 2.3.3op2-3+deb11u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
after upgrade from to Debian buster to bullseye (cups-client 2.2.10-6 to 2.3.3op2) the lopptions does not properly handle printer instances defined in ~/.cups/lpoptions
Symptoms:
* "lpoptions -p laserjet5si/konzept -l" gives the same output as "lpoptions -p laserjet5si/manuell -l" (namely the default printer settings made in CUPS) while lpoptions file defines different settings for both of these instances (see example file below)
* any attempt to modify printer instance settings using "lpoptions -p laserjet5si/konzept -o InputSlot=Upper" results in deletion of all "Dest" lines previously present within lpoptions file and modification of the single line that was considered to be affected
* third party applications such as Okular (4:20.12.3-2) are not able to display or use any printer instance defined
* downgrade to cups-client 2.2.10 and according dependencies seems to bypass the problem and allows the very same third party applications to display and use printer instances again
-- example ~/.cups/lpoptions file in use:
Default bx310fn
Dest laserjet5si/blank_duplex Duplex=DuplexNoTumble InputSlot=LargeCapacity
Dest laserjet5si/konzept InputSlot=Upper
Dest laserjet5si/manuell InputSlot=Manual
Dest P6021cdn InputSlot=MF1
-- example output of lpoptions -p laserjet5si/konzept -l
